Andaman and Nicobar Islands Development Report

Providing independent, quality reference documents, this report highlights issues related to the development priorities of the islands and looks to the future in areas such as health, education, tribal development, environment, agriculture, ports, and shipping and air connectivity. The analysis also suggests a long-term plan to restore the livelihoods adversely affected by the Tsunami in December 2004, and it serves as a useful reference to stimulate informed debate on the policy issues faced by the Union Territory.
